Go to source for handlebar tape?

that go under the bar tape That is the best solution charles

Google Profile Designs perforated handlebar tape. It's very nice, however,
it tends to come apart when removing it. I didn't try using a hair dryer, that might work.

Really.

From the previous responses, you'd think Amazon was the only place in the world that sold handlebar tape.

I don't personally like wrapping that stuff. ....Or the other really thick tapes

Bontrager has some nice leather-ish tape that I like.

Most of my bikes have Fizik if I pick my own or whatever the customer had on their bikes when I changed tapes. That shop replaced tape every tune up so it was never too worn

Tried many but Cinelli Cork is still the best after all these years.

Too many overpriced choices on the market and so much black is depressing.

Agree! My old LBS, which is no longer around, had a wall full of bar tape and turned me on to Rav X, Soma thick n zesty and many others including always having a variety of Cinelli and Profile Design - splash bar tape! They all ranged from like $10 up to $40+. Definitely one cheap way I could always support my LBS...Good Luck!

Does this leave a real sticky residue when you go to replace ?

For me - nothing that I can even recall. It's lightweight cotton tape. That said, if I'm replacing the bar tape, it may or may not be necessary to replace the hockey tape. Just depends, but I don't recall anything being more difficult that a little acetone (finger nail polish remover) wouldn't handle easily. It's a good solution for me....

I would second all the Fizik recs. I run them on 3 bikes now and it's always on some sort of sale.

[vespasianus]

Ali express. Get tons of choices for next to nothing. And some items ship directly from the USA.
